ABC/Fred LeeDid Panic! at the Disco always have a feeling that they’d be that one in a million…to spend so many weeks at #1?
The band’s smash “High Hopes” has just logged its 15th week at #1 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Songs chart, which measures radio airplay. By breaking a tie with Maroon 5‘s “Girls Like You,” which spent 14 weeks on top last year, “High Hopes” now becomes this chart’s longest-running #1 of this decade.
The last time a song spent that many weeks on top of the Adult Pop Songs chart was back in 2007, when “How to Save a Life” by The Fray finished its 15 week run.
The all-time record holder for most weeks at #1 on that chart is “Smooth,” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas. That ruled for 25 weeks starting in 1999. Other songs that have spent 15 weeks or more on the chart include No Doubt‘s “Don’t Speak,” “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls, Avril Lavigne‘s “Complicated” and “Photograph” by Nickelback.
Meanwhile, the follow-up to “High Hopes,” the aptly titled “Hey Look Ma, I Made It,” is now at #21 on that same chart.
